The Peat Pathway

Emma Peat is currently the Event Workforce Manager at Formula E, leading a global team of Support Staff and Volunteer Managers who deliver a vital temporary resourcing programme on the ground at Formula E events.

Her volunteer management journey started at University where she got stuck in, playing many different sports. She even started a hockey team with her friends. After university, she moved to London and got a job at a clothing company doing customer service. She had experience before in the events world due to a placement year.

Emma’s passion for hockey landed her the Events Officer role at England Hockey. She has found that a passion-fueled environment is very energising and working with volunteers is her favourite thing and that’s where she fell in love with the job role.

Emma expressed that she is always very keen to get involved and would do activities with the volunteers as well as manage them. She is now operating internationally working for Formula E.

Formula E

Formula E is a single-seater motorsport championship for electric cars. Formula E’s founding mission was for its race through the streets of the most iconic cities in the world – with a grid full of the best racing drivers and teams around – to show just what sustainable mobility was capable of, driving electric vehicles to the fore in the race for a better, cleaner future.

After six seasons of racing on the streets of the world’s most progressive cities, Formula E gained World Championship status, a move granted by the FIA (motorsport’s governing body) in December 2019.
